A comprehensive guide to the most useful geotechnical laboratory
measurements
measurements
Cost effective, high quality testing of geo-materials is
possible if you understand the important factors and work with
nature wisely. Geotechnical Laboratory Measurements for
Engineers guides geotechnical engineers and students in
conducting efficient testing without sacrificing the quality of
results.
Useful as both a lab manual for students and as a reference for
the practicing geotechnical engineer, the book covers thirty of the
most common soil tests, referencing the ASTM standard procedures
while helping readers understand what the test is analyzing and how
to interpret the results.
Features include:
- Explanations of both the underlying theory of the tests and the
standard testing procedures - The most commonly-taught laboratory testing methods, plus
additional advanced tests - Unique discussions of electronic transducers and computer
controlled tests not commonly covered in similar texts - A support website at
